Welcome to Williamsburg Elementary Physical Education! My name is Mr. Graham and each week you can see the activities that our students were engaged in as well as many of the resources I used in my teaching. I put out these weekly posts for parents to see what their child is learning in PE as well as for other PE teachers to get ideas they can implement in their own programs.
Overview of the Week
Our spring fitness testing continued this week in grades 3-5 with the P.A.C.E.R. test. Fitness testing is mandated by the state of Illinois for all students in grades 3-5. The students attempted to run as many times as they could back and forth across the gym (a distance of 20m or 65.3') to a an audible cadence "beep" that progressively gets faster after each minute. The healthy fitness zone is considered 17 laps for 10 yr. olds and 20 laps for 11 yr. olds. Our K-2 students participated in some free choice activities this week prior to spring break. Be sure to finish your last two challenges of the Healthy Habits at Home contest and bring back your completed sheets after spring break!
